The Starless Sea: A Novel

"Anyone who’s read Erin Morgenstern’s wildly successful fiction debut, The Night Circus, knows how meticulously she crafts her imaginary worlds. Her new novel, The Starless Sea, revels in them. Graduate student Zachary Ezra Rawlins picks a book off the shelf in his college library and finds a description of himself and an incident from his childhood that he never told anyone. As he tries to solve the mystery of the book, both he and the reader are immersed in a multitude of stories, the threads of which gradually weave together to a haunting conclusion."
